Hi gang, i am looking for a laptop that can last a long period of time, at least 5-10 years. I prefer to invest in stuff that lasts long and still performs pretty well even if i have to pay more rather than buy a new cheaper one every 3 years. I also don’t have much knowledge on laptops, so i would be very thankful for some recommendations. I would probably use it for casual gaming (lol, cs go) not something too big or demanding and photo editing. I am a librarian so please don’t recommend 5000€ laptops, they’re more expensive than my car.
Most of my laptops that does not last more than 2 to 4 years are those with cheap plastic casings. The first thing that will give-out were the hinges, plastic mounts for the hinge screws will break even with normal usage of opening/closing the laptop screen. If you want to buy a laptop that lasts, buy the ones with metal A (display shell), C (top case which houses the keyboard, palmrest, touchpad, etc.) panels. This means that a macbook or any Windows laptop line that have magnesium or aluminum builds.
